The Manipura Chakra is the 3rd of 7 energy centers in the body. The solar plexus chakra is associated with the color yellow and is located above the navel in the stomach area. When this chakra is balanced you will feel self-confident, humorous, warmth and a sense of ease.

Take a few moments to close the eyes and relax the mind as you prepare for meditation.

Focus on your solar plexus chakra, located in the lower abdominal area, just above your navel and below your diaphragm.

Count 12 slow deep breaths as you continue to focus on the chakra center.

Imagine a warm yellow light, with each inhale feel the energizing yellow light fill your body, and with each exhale release any sensations of tension, tightness or stress.

Continue to focus on the breath and the flow of bright yellow energy flowing in and out of the body.

Feel the energy of the yellow light invigorate the body. Feel the sensations of warmth and positive energy move throughout the body.

Continue to breathe in this invigorating yellow light as you count 12 deep breaths.

Stay here with a calm breath for 5-10 minutes, and notice the shifts in energy, warmth and self assurance from this meditation practice.
